Its headquarters is in Havana, inside the territory of the “Quinta de los Molinos”.
Topics such as molecular dynamics, determination of heavy metals in organisms and atmosphere and computational modeling of thermo-hydraulic processes are among the main research areas.
It counts with labs to develop academic work in physics, chemistry and engineering: labs for mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, nuclear physics and chemistry are focused on developing practical training in the basic sciences and other labs such as the laboratory for electrical machines and the laboratory for electronics are among the ones dedicated to specialized training in these topics.
[3] This meeting allows students the possibility to present their own research and main advances in their thesis.
